So I have started making maps recently and would like to load the quake source maps into Trenchbroom to look at the design, it allows me to compile the maps and load with no textures, but if I try to load the .Map into trenchbroom I get this error :

At line 8, column 64: Expected '[', but got integer (raw data: '0')

Any idea on how to get the quake source map file to load in trenchbroom?

Thanks a ton! 

@Jeremy: every frame of animation is baked into a shape key, you're only ever editing the currently selected one.

@Tonius42: choose "Standard" map format instead of "Valve" 

Much appreciated! 

Using Trenchbroom with the Quoth set, and in my compiled map, the Death Lords from Quoth will every other second have this field of yellow sprites around them.

It reminds me of when you spawned HECU grunts in HL1 in midair, so I feel like this is an error of sorts. I'm not too experienced with mapping or Quoth, so maybe that's part of their mystique and this isn't an error? Would appreciate some clarification. 

There is something wrong with the lightning effect. It looks as if you're using the muzlebright or muzleflash in the placement of the entities as flags.
Normaly this only happens when you set a monster with a light decimal on it.

Do the Death Lords have flags in their map statements? 

I don't think there's any flags in their statements, at least I wouldn't know if there were. Total novice.

And I don't think I'm using a muzlebright or muzleflash, but indeed, the only lighting in the room are torches in the center. Would that have anything to do with it? 

That is the Death Lord's intermittent 50% damage reduction aura.

also.... quaddicted is hosting an archive of itself? 

So they indeed have Flags in their statement.
I couldn't find theor cmoment in the tutorial, but I think you can find the cause there.
Try a bit hussling with the flags number. 

Quoth qcc code is not published, but I think this is just a mapping error. 

It's not a mapping error. It's working as expected. 

Does the Fuck relatest to #20567 or #20572? 

I must be as ill tempered as OTP, sorry for that.

Let's see it the other way.
Not that I'm huanlopan.

Would it be possible to change the flag options for the Quoth DeathLords? In the dimmed imgur view of Trenchboom I see a few parms.

If the defs are:
// entity effects

float EF_BRIGHTFIELD = 1;
float EF_MUZZLEFLASH = 2;
float EF_BRIGHTLIGHT = 4;
float EF_DIMLIGHT = 8;

could they be turned off by deleting some, or turn them to 0? Or doesn't this work with Quoth code. 

@onetruepurple
Hey, thanks for the link, and thanks for the clarification! That's a load off. I'll peruse this Quoth tutorial page for sure. 

The Death Lords has no spawnflags, and the effect cannot be turned off. It's there on purpose, and that purpose is "the Death Lord takes 50% damage when the effect is active". 

Sorry for intervening on a case I have no experience. 

I know there's such a thing for Arcane Dimensions, as stated on this page, but what about Quoth/id1? 

There's no flag to disable it in Quoth or ID1. In Quoth an alternative is to construct a fight using the Death Guard/Death Knight/Death Lord triumvirate as they never infight with each other - they are treated as variants of the same monster. 

@Preach
I see, thanks for the response. No way around it: Have to be clever with enemy placements. 

I used to hate infighting in my maps. But once I saw some of the clever ways players use it in a tactical sense I got over it. It's part of the game play.

But yes, you can mitigate it in enemy placement. And remember, in id1 only Grunts will infight each other. The rest of the gang will ignore their own type. 

^Thanks for the tip, and hey, thanks for the Trenchbroom tutorial series. It's the whole reason I'm here right now. Really enjoying making my own small map. Hoping to make bigger, more traditional Quake ones soon. 

Hi there!

I was triyng put my custom models on my map, but when i try to rotate the objects, the collision boxes remains in the same spot and not rotate with the model, how can i fix this?

If it is a model or static give them a flag :
"angle 180" or any number 0/360. 

Useful as always, thanks bro! 

I am still wondering how you obtain that transperant shape. Is that fence a static entity or a brush with texture?
